Loot distribution! A Dragon Kingdom celebration, the envy of all nations!
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he no longer looked at Mike Jason's constipated-looking face.
He turned around and walked back to the main seat.
The atmosphere in the entire Command Center was bizarre to the extreme.
On the Dragon Country side, Qin Pojun, Tie Kuang, and the others wanted to laugh, but they had to hold it in during such a serious occasion; their faces were almost turning red from holding it back.
As for the White Eagle Country side, it was as if they were attending a funeral.
Mike Jason stood in place, his body stiff, feeling a burning pain on his face.
It was an extreme humiliation, like being stripped naked in public and repeatedly rubbed against the ground!
He had lost.
He had lost completely.
In the face of absolute strength and those irrefutable combat merit statistics, all his rhetoric and all his schemes had become a joke.
"Since... no one has any objections." Lin Yuan's voice sounded again.
He glanced at Qin Pojun. "You will be responsible for the counting and handover of the spoils."
"Yes!" Qin Pojun straightened his body abruptly, his voice loud as a bell, filled with the exhilaration of finally venting his frustration!
He glared fiercely at Mike Jason, his one eye full of undisguised mockery.
Then, he strode out. He couldn't wait to carry out this—damn it—most satisfying mission in history!
The meeting ended on a sour note. Mike Jason practically fled, taking his dejected subordinates with him, and left the Command Center.
Lin Yuan, however, had no interest in all of this. He stood up, nodded slightly to Lin Zhan and the others. "Grandfather, I'm heading back first."
After speaking, he turned and left directly, leaving behind a room full of high-ranking officials from various parties who were still savoring the good show that had just taken place.
...
Half a day later.
At the giant plaza in the East District of the Demon Suppressing Pass.
Tens of thousands of Longxiang Army soldiers from the Dragon Country stood in neat formations, standing solemnly. Their faces carried a hint of confusion and a hint of anticipation.
At the very front of the plaza, piled up like a mountain, were the various alien Materials and energy cores captured in this great battle!
Those crystal cores, emitting various rays of light, appeared exceptionally alluring under the dim yellow sky.
Qin Pojun stood on the high platform, looking at the dense crowd of soldiers below, and cleared his throat.
"Brothers!" His voice, transmitted through the amplification magic array, spread throughout the entire plaza.
"In this battle, we won!"
"We repelled the first fierce attack of the alien coalition army! We held the Demon Suppressing Pass!"
Below, there was silence. All the soldiers just watched him quietly. They knew this was just the opening remarks. The main point was yet to come.
Qin Pojun smiled; he was very satisfied with the soldiers' discipline. Then, he changed the subject and pointed to the mountain of spoils behind him.
"These are the spoils!"
"According to the rules of the Alliance, these things should have been turned over for unified distribution!"
Saying this, he deliberately paused for a moment. Some soldiers below already had a hint of disappointment on their faces. They knew that when it came to so-called "unified distribution," in the end, how much could actually fall into the hands of low-level soldiers like them?
However, Qin Pojun's next words made everyone's eyes widen instantly!
"But!"
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan has spoken!"
"In this battle, the greatest contribution came from our Dragon Country!"
"Therefore, we, the Dragon Country, will take seventy percent of these spoils!"
Boom!!! The entire plaza instantly exploded with noise!
"What? Seventy percent?!"
"Did I hear that right?!"
"Holy crap! We're rich!"
The soldiers could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and erupted into waves of earth-shattering cheers!
Seventy percent!
What kind of concept was that? It was a massive amount of resources sufficient to let the entire Dragon Country garrison upgrade their equipment once!
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come. Qin Pojun raised his hand to suppress the crowd's cheers. He took a deep breath and continued to shout in a tone bordering on fanaticism.
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan also said!"
"Of this seventy percent of the spoils, he... doesn't want a single share!"
"He is taking a portion of it and distributing it equally to every single soldier of our Longxiang Army!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Dead silence. The plaza once again fell into a deathly silence.
All the soldiers stood there blankly, as if struck by a bolt of lightning. They doubted whether there was something wrong with their ears.
Not wanting a single share?
Distributing it all to them?
What kind of... terrifying vision was this?!
After a brief dead silence came an even crazier, more hysterical, mountain-shaking roar!
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan!!"
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan!!"
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan!!"
Tens of thousands of iron-blooded soldiers, at this moment, used all their strength to shout the same name! Their faces were no longer just excited. It was a heartfelt, fanatical adoration and support!
Qin Pojun looked at the seething morale below and felt his own heart surge. He knew. From this moment on, the name Lin Yuan would become an unquestionable legend within the Longxiang Army!
He raised his hand again. This time, the cheers on the plaza stopped instantly. All the soldiers watched him with the most fanatical gaze.
"Your Excellency Lin Yuan has one more thing he asked me to convey to everyone!" Qin Pojun's voice became incredibly solemn.
"Work hard!"
"Cultivate diligently! Improve your strength!"
"In the future, there will be many more resource rewards like this!"
Boom!!! The morale that had just calmed down was reignited!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" All the soldiers were frantically pounding their chest armor, venting the excitement and ecstasy in their hearts!
This scene fell clearly into the eyes of the other national garrisons around the plaza. Their faces were filled with jealousy, envy, and... a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Fuck! Why?!" A White Eagle Country soldier couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Those are clearly the Alliance's public property!"
"Shut up!" The captain beside him immediately reprimanded, "Do you want to die? That was decided by Your Excellency Lin Yuan himself! If you have an objection, go tell him?"
That soldier instantly shut his mouth, his face turning deathly pale. Go and tell that monster who slew the Rock Demon General with a single sword? He hadn't lived enough yet.
Similar conversations were happening in every corner. They could only watch helplessly as the Dragon Country soldiers lined up, happily collecting that generous reward that was enough to significantly boost their speed to Cultivate. And they had nothing.
...
On the city wall.
Lin Zhan, Tie Kuang, Shangguan Jinghong, and others quietly watched the ocean of revelry below.
"This kid... has something going for him." Tie Kuang scratched his head and grinned.
"Buying a horse's bones for a thousand gold, winning hearts with ten thousand gold. This move of his is played much more beautifully than us old guys."
A gratified smile also appeared on Lin Zhan's face. Lin Yuan didn't do it intentionally. In the eyes of Lin Yuan, who possessed the System, those so-called spoils were probably really no different from trash. He just simply didn't like them.
But it was precisely this "not liking them" that, invisibly, won him the absolute loyalty of the entire Dragon Country garrison!
Just at this moment.
"Beep beep beep—!!!" A burst of urgent alarm sounds suddenly rang out from the communicator on Lin Zhan's wrist! Lin Zhan's expression changed slightly.
He raised his hand and connected the communication. An anxious voice came from inside.
"Marshal! It's bad!"
"In the Northern Territory's Demon Burial Abyss, large-scale spatial fluctuations have been detected! The Seal... has shown abnormal movements!"
Lin Zhan's brows instantly knitted into a frown. "Understood." He hung up the communication, his face becoming somewhat grim.
"Hmph! I didn't expect that I had only just left, and those bastards would already be impatient and starting to stir!" His voice was filled with cold killing intent.
Tie Kuang and Shangguan Jinghong's expressions also became grave.
"It seems we cannot stay here for long either." Tie Kuang shouldered his giant axe, "The Ten Thousand Beast Ridge that I guard has not been peaceful lately either."
Shangguan Jinghong also nodded gently.
"The tide of the Ghost Sea is coming soon." The ceiling of human combat power all had their own most important defensive areas that they had to guard. They could not leave their posts for long periods of time.
Lin Zhan took a deep breath and looked at Qin Pojun.
"The command here will be temporarily handed over to you."
"Rest assured, Marshal!" Qin Pojun nodded heavily.
Lin Zhan took another look at the direction of Lin Yuan's residence, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes. But in the end, he still turned around.
"Let's go!"
As his voice fell, his figure turned into a streak of light and shot into the sky, disappearing into the northern horizon. Tie Kuang and Shangguan Jinghong also nodded to Qin Pojun, turned into two streaks of light of different colors, and sped off in different directions.
